The Farmer and the Fortune Teller: Using stories to teach grammar – Jason Anderson – Teacher, teacher educator and author. Some of us love grammar lessons, but others… If you, or your learners, fall into the second category, one great way to make grammar meaningful, interesting and even edifying is to adapt stories to include a little grammar that you can then extract and analyse.

Stories provide for ‘Context, Analysis and Practice’ (C-A-P: something I’ll be talking about more at IATEFL Glasgow 2017, watch this space). Here’s how you can use them: Context – Live listening If you’re confident telling the story yourself, you can turn it into a listening activity even if you don’t have an audio player or speakers. Analysis – Noticing and understanding It’s useful at this stage to give them a copy of the story, and get them to underline examples of key words, tenses or sentences that you want them to notice.

Although I didn't build it, I haven't found a more accurate English grammar test anywhere, at least not for free. There's a longer version of this same English grammar test that gives you a more precise score and you can publish that score straight to your LinkedIn profile if you want to. If you're really looking for a challenge, there's a 2 hour version which tells you what you'd score on the TOEFL and IELTS if you took those tests. All three English grammar tests are available at no charge over on the site of the test's makers.
